Market value GT3 VS RS

Floor is tiny pebbles epoxied together (see below). It's 25-years old and no peeling. You can dump on it and it doesn't stain, but you'd have to power wash it to get the fluid out from between the pebbles. I think epoxy with vinyl chips is better.

The 997 RS has had the unfortunate effect of bringing Ferrari-esque thinking to Porscheland. The idea of purchasing an exotic sports car for the purpose of polishing it rather than driving it is well established among the F-car fraternity. It's a bit upsetting that the same attitude is now also associated with one of Porsche's greatest drivers cars of all time. The GT3 RS deserves much more than to be seen as a frivolous fashion accessory, or financial instrument. But to each his own.

never seen any design like that, but makes sense, and strong enough for jacks.
i like the herringbone brick pavers outside too.
oh and the "small" stable you got in there aint too shabby either

How I hate that floor! I think my knees and elbows still have indentations from those bloody pebbles. Probably was the hot ticket in the 70's, but it makes a lot of noise with the floor jack, the jack stands never seem quite stable and cleaning it is nigh on impossible. Aargh! : )

Sorry, back to "Market value GT3 VS RS"...

The delta between GT3 and RS will depend a lot on the next RS.
From what I see the next RS might lower the current RS a bit when it arrives in 3.8 or Ohmygod 4.0. just like the regular GT3.
I was worried about the new engines, but they aced the new car I think and so the next RS
The delta will go back to 15K I suspect right around the delivery time of the next RS..

I agree with the new GT3 costing $112,200 with 3.8L GT1-style motor, no sunroof (rumored), lightened flywheel, and other improvements, I don't know why a used 997GT3RS wouldn't sell for considerably less than that...

Unless you have an 3.8RS :-)

So how will the new 2nd generation 997 GT3 affect the current prices of 997 GT3/RS. It appears the incoming non-RS has specs similar (lightweight flywheel, larger wing, ...) to the last RS.
